Complete Guide To Haxploitation Films
from the yes,-it's-a-slow-news-day dept
Okay, so it seems like it’s a very slow news day, and the following list might be useful for some very bored person somewhere. The Register last week put together their list of Haxploitation films (films that show computer hackers in some – usually ridiculous – way). Readers of the Register then came up with an even longer list of movies that, when taken together, give you a fairly complete guide to the “genre”.

Good and Bad on Same List?
I wish they had separated the movies with silly examples of hacking (Mission Impossible) from the ones that almost got it right (Real Genius). It’s like putting Roots and Shaft in Africa on the same list.
Three Days of the Condor
The movie Kevin Mitnick took his online handle from… Robert Redford phreaks his way out of a corner he was put in by some Big Government Conspiracy. All the paranoia of the serial hacker mindset brought to film circa the early 1970s.
Oh well. It won’t make the list now, que sera sera.
